@Tom-Elliott That did not have an impact. still seeing ${serial} on the host list. If it helps I am also seeing at the bottom of my host management page

${pingstatus} ${host_name} ${deployed} ${image_name} ${serial}

This is what is shown when I enable the hook.

The BIOS Hook is one I was working on but I first need to figure out why the ones that were already made aren’t working before I can try testing my own.

@Tom-Elliott I am not asking for anyone to make anything for me. The hooks I am referring to are already listed in the hooks directory. no of them work except for the VNC one which we don’t use. Below is the serial hook code.

Any ideas on this? I have still been unable to locate the issue.

@FlareImp Issue fixed with

Fog 1.5.9
Ubuntu 22.04

I’m trying to make a custom hook to add Bios Version to the Host Management Page but am running into some issues. If i set any of the existing hooks from ‘public $active = false’ to ‘public $active = true’ all I get is a column that shows a $. So if I was to enable ‘addhostserial.hook.php’ I would get a column that says ‘$serial’ rather than the actual serial number of the computer.

@Tom-Elliott dumb question but where would I find the log file for hooks?

I gave your script a try and it crashes with web UI when set from active=false to active=true.

@Tom-Elliott Awesome, thank you very much! I’ll start playing around with this.

Is there a way to show when a client last communicated (checked in) with the fog server? I’d like to compile a list of all my clients showing their check-in times and see if any clients are no longer communicating.

@george1421 Okay, thank you very much!

@george1421 Sorry for not being clear. I uploaded an image of Ubuntu with the fog install files and .fogsettings already loaded onto it. All a tech needs to do is change the .fogsettings file to match the node they are imaging and then re-run the fog installer with the -y command. currently after imaging they need to nano into the .fogsettings file and manually set the ip address and the hostname for that machine before running the installer. I am trying to get it to where when we image a node it can be auto installed rather than have someone set it up.

@sebastian-roth I don’t follow

I have an image of Ubuntu with the fog files ready to be installed that we use to push out our fog nodes at our different sites. the problem I am having is that every time we deploy a node, we have to manually edit the .fogsettings file to set the new IP Address and the new Hostname. Is there a way to Change the Server IP Address and the Hostname by having it pull them automatically from the current system being setup?

The change worked great, Thank you!!!

@sebastian-roth Thank you for all your help. I will give it a try.

@sebastian-roth I tried removing the space and just giving it the name of the folder itself. I am still seeing “File or path cannot be reached”.

@sebastian-roth Fog Version is 1.5.9, Ubuntu 20.04.03
